/fa/ - Fashion

I've never visited Style Zeitgeist or read any fashion writing to be honest, but thanks for the detail explanation on gear-queer and everything.

>Sit down and... well no, don't shut up, tell me what you're in this for. What does fashion mean to you? Why do you think and feel about this stuff?

Good question actually. I think I got into this fashion stuff because I was tired of dressing badly - wearing fluorescent tees and denim shorts and stuff like that in middle school. I cared (and still do care) about my appearance and I think fashion forums like /fa/ definitely helped.

When I first got into this shit, I didn't know anything about clothes. But now I can name like a hundred brands off the top of my head and I now know the difference between a sweater and a sweatshirt like everyone else here does.

I'm starting to think that wearing expensive designer clothes and "experimenting" with outlandish outfits isn't necessary just to look good though. I mean, if you enjoy fashion, there's nothing against that. But giving money to clothing companies is not a very productive hobby in my opinion. There are lots of better hobbies that actually produce value.

But at least for me, I feel it's pointless. It sucks up your time and money, and I gain little in return. I'm already self-confident. And I already look well-dressed in basics like Uniqlo or APC or whatever. But in threads like WAYWT, people who dress fashionably, but in a basic way, end up getting their fits dissed and I don't really like that. And I'm starting to hate the toxic attitude on this board. How can you be successful if your influences are people who spend their time shitposting and wasting money? To be honest, all clothes are are just fibers sewn together, more or less they're the same and nobody could care less.

But yeah whatever that's my answer to your question. tldr: i dont care about fashion. it's a waste of time and money. i just need to look good and that's all
